| Why it’s on the list | The third Hitchhiker’s volume collects Arthur Dent off prehistoric Earth and sets him against the people of Krikkit, who grew up under a dust cloud and reacted to discovering the rest of the universe by deciding it had to go — the series at its most plot-shaped, and the source of the Somebody Else’s Problem field, Agrajag, and the reason flying is a matter of forgetting to hit the ground. |
